Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbacavirZomepirac may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level.
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Zomepirac can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbciximabThe risk or severity of bleeding and hemorrhage can be increased when Zomepirac is combined with Abciximab.
AcebutololZomepirac may decrease the antihypertensive activities of Acebutolol.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Zomepirac is combined with Aceclofenac.
